Are we really bothered about Italy and all that sunshine,we live in the Uk and the Aero a British Muscle car lets have no more talk of two litres it aint gonna happen or worse still a Diesel.
Em
Exactly Em, the cost of developing a small engined version or a diesel for Italy of the Aero 8 is not a viable proposition for MMC, how many sales will ensue, will it ever give a pay-back; I doubt it!
Let's celebrate the fact that a hairy chested British sportscar is still available and buy one whilst it is still in production. There'll be plenty of time for Morgan to develop a new model in the future that complies with so called modern requirements, but for now I'm with you and Viper. V8's rule yea...
Yes let's celebrate while we can ,I love my v8's but I am also a realist and so are the MMC ,who ,as you are aware have ,and are at present looking to the future . Like it or not engine sizes are getting smaller and more efficient ,and Morgan will have to join the club eventually ,as there is not plenty of time to develope and keep ahead of legislation.
Also being realistic ,I am aware that a diesel morgan is a no no.....however the most famous Sports Car race in the world "LE MANS " has been won by a DIESEL sports car 9 times ,
I was always a firm believer that "there's no substitute for cubic capacity" but I was wrong , and am now old enough and wise enough to accept evolution .......
I would also like to remind other sports car enthusiasts that the BRITISH sports car heritage has its foundations and history based on the use of 4 and 6 cylinder engines ,and certainly not a v8 .
In the years to come ,why would you want to install a 4.8 litre v8 367 hp engine when you could fit a 400hp 2 litre unit ,which would be lighter ,greener ,more fuel efficient ,and cheaper to purchase .......
Ah yes. Because it sounds better ?
Good luck with the new Morgan purchase ,I guess it's the new Aero ,which looks great ,I doubt the world would want to see another Sp1???
